7 days, 7 themes, 7 hashtags!

#MuseumWeek 2019 is taking place from 13 to 19 May, bringing together cultural institutions from all over the world based on the idea of “7 days, 7 themes, 7 hashtags”. It features various themes such as exploration, photography and play, but also the role of women in culture yesterday, today and tomorrow to mark #WomenInCulture Day, the high point of this sixth edition.

#WomenInCulture

So, in advance of #MuseumWeek, start thinking about the part you can play in all these themes, with the emphasis on #WomenInCulture, by organising special events – online or on-site – for your visitors throughout the week.

Have a great #MuseumWeek 2019!

May 13-19, 2019

#WomenInCulture

Mon, May 13th

Although the role of women in society is obviously just as important as that of men, it is far from being properly recognized. This Monday, we will focus on famous women in the fields of history, art, culture and science, as well as all those anonymous women whose lives structure our societies. Not women chosen for their beauty, but artists, intellectuals, workers, and so on. Share your content with the hashtag #WomenInCulture

#SecretsMW

Tue. May 14th

On the Tuesday, let your visitors see behind the scenes! Exhibitions in preparation, restoration or cleaning of collections, little-known facilities or professions, etc. Use the occasion to form a closer relationship with your public by revealing all your secrets!
